4 12's help

[slideking 10+ year member]

I called RE today to get in on that group buy. Now I am stuck. They told me it makes more sense to get 4 12's instead of 4 10's. Now if I am running on a PPI that says it runs 1000x1 watts at 2 ohm. Since I will have 4, on parrallel, what will that make my total ohm load?? Will the setup be sufficient enough or will I be putting out to much watts to the 4. What should I do the 4 10s of 4 12's??

The answers you seek can be found in the voice coil wiring sticky in the Install forum, but first we need to know the VC configuration of your woofers.

if it's the re10s and re12s they are dual-4ohm voice coils. wiring them in series/parallel will give you a 2ohm final impedence. i would get the quad 12 setup if i had the room. and if you ever find yourself overpowering any speakers you can turn your gains down.

yea 2ohm is the lowest u can probally get it

heh...you should spin by the vc wiring sticky too

parallel/parallel would be .5ohms...but i don't know that his amp could handle that
